Joey, I still think about you almost every day. I wonder who you would be today, years ago I found some of our old notes we used to pass to one another between classes. You were the voice of reasoning for me many times. I miss you so much, wish you were still here.

Tomorrow would have been your High School Graduation. "Go Stanwood Spartans". Yesterday your Grandparents (Neil & Sandy)put red and white flowers on your grave. I put red and silver balloons on your grave. The theme was school colors in honor of your GRADUATION DAY.
Love you lots and miss you daily.
Love, Aunt "B"

Adam & Family,
Our hearts broke when we heard the news about Joe. Though we haven’t been a part of his life in quite some time it was truly a sad moment for us all. I vividly remember the day he was born and seeing his sweet face and trying to imagine what he would be like when he grew up; how horrible no one- especially you his dear family, will ever get to know how truly great he would grow to be. Our thoughts are with you all in this terribly sad time. We send our sincerest condolences to you all.

Adam, Julie, Tonnette, and Austin-
The news of Joe's death has brought a lot of sorrow upon all of us. I will always cherish the memories i have of him. The cheerful smile that never left his face. His voice still replays in my head whenever my mind wanders. How caring he was, and he could always tell when something was wrong. And the fact that he would take time out of his day to make sure mine was going well even if his wasn't. Or even the silly things like the simple winks he'd give me in class or the cheesy pick up lines he'd use. I especially will miss our line... "i wanna rub ya in butta." I'm so glad my family had the chance to spend that day with yours eating crab... eventhough it was messy. I will always cherish those times. The memories of joe that at the time didn't seem like anything... are all i have now. His loving bear hugs and jokes. Towards the end of the school year we had a conversation about his grades and it was so amazing to see him working so hard to make sure they were good because he wanted an enjoyable summer. I was so proud of him.
The loss is huge and i don't even have words to express how truely sorry i am and how heartbroken this has left us. My families thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Love always,
Chloe`
rest in peace joe. you're forever in my heart.
Thank you for being such an awesome nephew

To my Brother, Adam his wife Julie (who is like a sister to me) and my nephew and niece Austin and Tonnette.,
I can't think of the right thing to say, except that I wish I could change everything and have Joey laughing at the dinner table with us again. I am so sorry. I love all of you more then I will ever be able to express. I have always talked about your family. So proud of each and everyone of you. When Joey got his drivers license I annouced it to my coworkers, as one more proud moment to be his Aunt. I will really miss driving down the road with him in the front passenger seat talking about his plans/dreams and discussing if we wre going to listen to country music or his rock music. He usually won... by promising me that I would like the song. Again, I am so sorry, I wish I could take away the pain.
Love to you,
Proud to be your sister and Aunt,
Becky (Aunt "B")

We are going to miss Joey. He was a nice and caring young man. He was the kind of guy that would do anything for you. We are going to miss seeing him next door and the simple waves when you drive by. We hope your memories help you in this sad time.

I've only known him about a year, but he's made such an impression on my life... he was always outgoing, nice, funny, and he always made me feel better about anything. He will always be in my prayers. I will miss him always.

Brandt Family,
There are no words I can say to express my sorrow over the loss of Joe. I did not have him in class but saw him in the hallways of Stanwood High School on a daily basis. We got to meet each other through smiles and friendly greetings. I will always remember his smile, courtesy and respectful attitude towards myself and others. To paraphrase the Lords book, lean not on our own understanding but know that His ways are the only way and there is a reason He took Joe home to heaven at this time. My the Lord wrap His loving, comforting arms around you and keep you close in these difficult days.

Adam, Julie, Austin, & Tonnette: Losing Joey is too hard to understand & too painful to even imagine. It's hard to find words to help make the sadness any easier for you all to bear, but hopefully they show how much we care and that we are thinking about you. We'll miss Joey and are thankful for all the memories that we have. We love you!
